The Battle for Your Body
Listen now
Description
Your body is the "turf" on which your spiritual battles are fought, which means you can't escape this warfare no matter how hard you try. Given this reality, it's no wonder that the enemy will take your natural and unavoidable physical appetites and use them to lure you towards one extreme or another: self-worship or self-contempt. The design and complexity of your body declares the goodness, glory and beauty of God's image, so what you believe about your body will either empower or weaken you in your physical struggles. In this episode, Lynn and Austin discuss the importance of having a biblical view of your body, and prescribe specific ways you can fight against the enemy that moves you towards befriending and stewarding your body in a way that glorifies God.
